Until Nautilus can do this, you may get somewhere by using tunefs to make the filesystem fsck every time it's mounted. However: - the check will run with no UI and presumably write to .xsession-errors or somewhere - Nautilus may get upset that it takes so long to mount it - this might not even be respected by the code that mounts disks on insertion But it might be worth a try. -- Martin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
